• Adequate hepatic function
• Adequate pancreatic function
• Adequate renal function assessed by: Serum creatinine within reference laboratory ranges or creatinine clearance (by Cockcroft Gault formula, see Appendix 2) ≥ 50 mL/min for patients in whom, in the Investigator's judgment, serum creatinine level may not adequately reflect renal function.
• All non-hematological adverse events must have resolved to NCI-CTCAE Grade ≤ 2 prior to starting therapy.
• Patients must be considered by Investigator suitable to receive combination chemotherapy.

• Patients receiving any other investigational or commercial agents or therapies administered with the intention to treat their malignancy with the exception of Hydroxyurea (HU) or 6-Mercaptopurine (6MP) in patients who need to continue this agent to maintain WBC count ≤10,000/mm3. HU and 6MP must be discontinued at the time of initiation of study medications.
